LASH is a session management system for JACK audio applications. It is an
implementation of a proposal that originated from this discussion. Its aim
is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to
save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some
other time. LASH doesn't deal with any kind of audio data itself; it just
runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects
different kinds of virtual audio ports together (currently JACK and ALSA
sequencer ports). It can also be used to move entire sessions between
computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download.
Enhance your listening experience, stay up-to-date with what your friends are
listening to, view your listening history and share it with friends. The more
Last.fm learns what you like, the better it gets.
libfishsound provides a simple programming interface for decoding and encoding
audio data using the Xiph.org codecs (FLAC, Speex and Vorbis).
libfishsound by itself is designed to handle raw codec streams from a lower
level layer such as UDP datagrams. When these codecs are used in files, they
are commonly encapsulated in Ogg to produce Ogg FLAC, Speex and Ogg Vorbis
files.
libfishsound is a wrapper around the existing codec libraries and provides a
consistent, higher-level programming interface. It has been designed for use in
a wide variety of applications; it has no direct dependencies on Ogg
encapsulation, though it is most commonly used in conjunction with liboggz to
decode or encode FLAC, Speex or Vorbis audio tracks in Ogg files, including Ogg
Theora and Annodex.
Ogg is a multimedia container format and the native file and stream
format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs. It encapsulates raw
compressed data and allows the interleaving of audio and video data
inside a single convient format. Ogg is a stream oriented container
and provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps
for seeking.
Vorbis is a general purpose audio and music encoding format
contemporary to MPEG-4's AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond
MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other
proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows' flavor of the
month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain.
All the technical details are published and documented, and any
software entity may make full use of the format without royalty or
patent concerns.
This package contains:
- libvorbis, a BSD-license software implementation of the Vorbis
specification by the Xiphophorus company.
- libvorbisfile, a BSD-license convenience library built on Vorbis
designed to simplify common uses.
- libvorbisenc, a BSD-license library that provides a simple,
programmatic encoding setup interface.
LINGOT is a musical instrument tuner. It's accurate, easy to use, and highly
configurable. Originally conceived to tune electric guitars, it can now be
used to tune other instruments.
It looks like an analogue tuner, with a gauge indicating the relative
shift to a certain note, found automatically as the closest note
to the estimated frequency.

Laudio is a port of La, a free lossless audio codec written by Michael
Bevin. It is not opensource, but versions are available for Windows and
Linux. Currently (October 2005) it offers the best compression ratio
available.
